UNIVERSAL RESTORATION.
The Doctrine of the Lord Jesus Christ Estab-
lished by His Own Words.

All Christians admit that men are in
a lost condition. While there is no such
language in the Bible as s. finally inn
penitent," or "fnally lost" the gospel
assumes that souls are lost. For the
purpose of seeking and saving such, all
such, Jesus labored, suffered, died.
"The Son of man is come to save that
which ,oaS mot shall be) lost" Luke
xix. 10.-not part, but all the lost.
VIII he be successful? This question
he answers in the three parallels: 1.-The
Lost Silver" "The Lost Sheep" 1.-The
Lost Prodigal." All the lost are to be
restored. "What man of you having a
hundred sheep, if he lose one of them,
doth not leave the ninety and nine in
the wilderness, and go after that which
is lost, until he ind it. Either what wo-
man having ten pieces of silver, if she
lose one piece, doth not light candle
and sweep the house, and seek diligent-
ly till she find it. A certain man had
two sons. And the youngest of them
said to his father, Father, give me the
portion of goods that falleth to me-
And he divided unto them his living.
And not many days after, the younger
son gathered all together, and took his
journey into a far country, and there
wasted his substance with riotOus liy-
ing. = The father said to his SER
wants, bring forth the best robe and
put it on him and put a ring on his hand,
and shoes on his feet, for this, my son,
was dead and is alive again, he was
lost and is found" Luke Ky. 11-22.
Had these parallels been related to
leach the common doctrines Of the sac
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1887-04-30

1. Pharisees, who believed in a par
tial salvation. Had he taught that he
would not have astonished them.
2. Sadducees, who denied the resur-
rection. Had he taught that he would
not have astonished them.
8. Heather, who entertained views
similar to those held by the majority of
Christians at the present time. Had he
taught endless punishment he would
not have astonished them.
4. The only doctrine that could have
astonished all these classes was a uni
versal resurrection, anoStdSis, uplift-
ing to holiness and happiness. He
astonished them all by his doctrine"
because he taught them something new,
and different from what they received.
Universal Restoration is the only posi-
bic doctrine besides Endless Punish
ment and Conditional Immortality.
These are but few of the many
statements of our Lord himself, show
ing that he came to save all mankind
from sin, and that he will be successful
in his mission; that he taught Univer-
sal Restoration.
Reader, can you reject such testi-
mony? J.w.H.

PERSONAL.

Rev. ]. w. Henley has been elected by
an almost unanimous vote Director and
President of Woodstock, Ohio, Public
schools.
The g. A. R., of Columbus, Wis, have
invited Rev. L. J. Dinsmore to preach
the sermon on the annual service held on
Memorial Sunday.
A reception was given to Rev. E. w.
Whitney and wife by the congregation OF
the Plum street church, Cincinnati, on
Thursday evening of last week. The new
pastorate starts out encouragingly.
Prof. ]. P. MacLean has received a let
ter from Prof. Spencer f. Baird, Secreta-
ry of Smithsonian Institution, requesting
him to make a critical examination Of
FingaPs Cave and the Isle Of Staffa,
during his coming visit to Scotland.
Prof. MaeLean will comply with the re-
quest.

the best way was not to make prohibit
ton a partisan question. G. E. Nash
believed that the third party was uni
flying, not dividing party. The old
party lines were abandoned in the
South, and all worked for prohibition.
DIR. Rexford believed the amendment in
Michigan was defeated by the third
party. H. Slade was in favor of bet
ter party than those now existing.
From this point on the discussion be-
came very animated. Prof. Standish
said We must keep cool" He had
always voted for temperance, and would
vote for the party if he was convinced
the country's best interests all round
would be served. J. R. Carpenter asked
leading question What is the pur-
pose of the third party Is it not to
kill the Republican party
Seven or eight arose almost simulta-
neously to answer this, infusing more
of the spirit of good humor and merri-
ment, of which none of the delibera-
lions had been devoid, however pointed.
G. P. Nash answered We want a
third party that believes in prohibition
as principle to enforce law and order;
the enforcement of temperance laws,
not being fact, under even local Re-
publican government, which is claimed
to be so great a friend to temperance.
A. IL. Laing spoke as man without
party. There were counties in this
State which we're Democratic, and in
which local option prevailed, though he
was certain it was not because the
counties were Democratic, but simply
because the people were for temper
ance principles. And so with Republi-
can localities. The sentiment belongs
to the people-not to the party.
Several spoke twice or three times
on the subject. The discussion was
sharp and animated, and while at times
partisan, it was on the whole fraternal.
one tact Is clear from the discussion.
Ministers, like other folks, have their
party preferences, and will abide by
them according to their own judgment.
AT the close of the discussion, adjourned.
In the Evening
reception was held in the parlors OF
the Church of the Redeemer. 1t was
largely attended by the members of the
city parishes, and those in the vicinity.
The Institute members were guests" on
| the occasion. Hon. Willard Woodland,
of Mr.. Conklin's parish, presided. There
was music and several Rotations by
Mrs. Noble, and brief addresses by the
president of the evening, DR.. Rexford
and Revs. H. l.. Garfield, and James
| Gorton. 1t was a very pleasant affair
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1887-04-30

There is no pleasure in sin; it is an
illusory satisfaction. Religion is a
sweet solicitation. Universalists should
be physically, morally and spiritually
the happiest men alive.
The powerisin our hands to bring con-
victi0n to hearts that will effect a rad
ical change there. Wehave the instru-
ment; but have we not need that Uni
versalism should be applied I? We have
sought to convert men to Universalism
rather than convert them acith Univer-
salism. Universalism is two things,
a philosophy and practice. We want
both. Our special tendency has been
to emphasize the philosophical and neg
lect the practice. Universalism as
theory is too little as a religion. We
must touch the full heart that its
meaning may well up and be seen Of
God. We, as ministers, are not to be
literary theologians; we are fishers of
men. We need working theory of
conversion. Some have analysed the
heart of man; they know how to reach
it. AS church, we have not theory
of conversion; we are feeling after it,
if haply we may find it-and we will
find it. Then will come the success
of our church.
The Conservation Meeting
followed Mr.. Nash's address. 1t was
holy hour. No report can do justice to
its rich and blessed devotional spirit.
All felt that the Institute closed with
its members nearer to God and the true
religion of his divine Son.

PROF. FAIRBAIRN makes the acute re-
mark with the agnostic in his minds eye
that if man cannot know God, it must be
because God is unable to make himself
known. This is the logic of the case:
An unknowable" God means God in
capable of disclosing himself; and this
again is the equivalent of no God. Prac-
tically there is no difference between an
unknown God and no God to be known.
The agnostic usually conforms himself to
this rationale of his creed and gives the
go-by to religion in all its FORMS and to
all forms of religion. He wastes neither
time nor money ON the baseless fabric of
a vision. Ina.

WE print this week on our first page,
another letter from the Kansas Meth
odist preacher, whose first communica-
ton, vigorously repudiating the dogma
Of endless punishment, attracted wide
attention. In the letter of this week,
our Kansas friend explains that he has
now relinquished his credentials and is
no longer a preacher of the Methodist
Episcopal church. This result was a
foregone conclusion after the publica-
ton of his first article. The Methodist
church follows up such cases with reg
ularity, and when the issue is square
ly made, as by our Kansas friend, knows
just how to act. The letter Of this
week will be read with interest. The
writer says several very sharp things
for the consideration of his old-time
brethren.

A WELL known Episcopal publishing
house has just published a devotional
book entitled, "Counsels on the Holy
Communion" which is exciting the in
dignant wrath of the moderate and low
churchmen. The tone OF the book may
be judged from the following extracts:
"The sacrament of the Eucharist is JE-
sUs himself, Con made man, present I'M
der the appearance Of bread and wine.
When the priest consecrates the bread
and the vine that is to say, when he
changes them into the Body and Blood
of our LORD JESUS CHRIsT-that moment
the bread and the wine, by the power of
the most high COP, become the trne,
living Body Of JESUS CHRIST. Priests
alone can change the bread and
the wine into the Body and Blood Of the
Son OF COP. A priest is more powerful
than an angel; in all the earth there is
nothing so great as a priest. Aud now
JESUS comes down the altar steps, lying
quietly IN the hands Of the priest, as long
ago he lay in the arms Of Mary, and
smiled his heavenly love down upon the
shepherds in Bethlehem. When you
come back to your place remain for some
time on your knees, lost 10 all but the
presence Of your Sayi0ur. All my
child, how great you are at this moment!
You hold IN yOnr soul and IN your body
the LORD Of angels and archaDgels."

SOME weeks ago we published note
from Mrs. JOSEPHINE MAooMBER, of Trim
idad, Colorado, in which she expressed
an anxiety to have a minister visit that
place. Mrs. Macomber proposed to give
home to young man who would es-
tablish church of our faith in that city,
This has called out quite number of
propositions. Mrs. MAooMBER now de-
sires to say that she does not want to
encourage man of family to go there at
present, but would be willing to care for
young man until the field is canvassed
His success would depend on his ability.
ANY minister passing that way would find
cordial welcome at her home.

TUESDAY, APRIL 10.


The last day Of the Institute began
with upwards of thirty members pres
ent. The morning service was led by
Rev. w. T. Small. Prof. Standish Off
ciated as critic and reviewer for the
last time, and gave some well timed
farewell words. Votes of thanks were
adopted to the ladies of the Church of
the Redeemer, Prof. Standish, Presi
dent Crum, Pastor Conklin, and others
who have been helpful in the Insti-
tute. L. W. Brigham expressed DR..
Tuttle's regret in not being able to be
present with the brethren at the Insti-
tute. In the absence of DR.. Ryder, who
was on the program to present paper
on the
"The Minister'S Religious Life"
L. II. Squires was appointed to open
the discussion. He remarked:
Weare made up of what we feed upon.
We should not give our lives to pleas
ure. The religious spirit is nurtured by
mingling with the common people in
their needs. Some people in our parishes
are more devotional in spirit than
others. Keep your hearts close to these.
Reading books such as MacDonald's
s'Annals Of Quiet Neigbborhood,"
will foster the religious life. Let US
feed our minds with the companionship
of those who have been the saviors of
the world.
G.. f. Barnes thought the minister
should draw near to Christ and keep
near to him in spirit.
H. L. Garfield; We should covet
and seek the best. We should avoid
those pleasures which give the appear
ance of evil. AS ministers, we should
not seek pleasure. The springs of
pleasure gush by the wayside. The
sunshine of a Fathers love falls about
us, and our joy may be unspeakable.
G. Elwood Nash next addressed the
Institute on
applied Universalism."
1t rules out all evil; it sets up the
kingdom of God on earth. The point
of approach is not in the man of hui
manity, but in the individual man.
The character of Christ Is ideal. This
is presented for our example. The
speaker considered various methods.
There is the method of culture and the
method of conversion. One form of char
acter is provided by culture. We need
to supplement culture by better theory
of conversion. This is real in the other
churches. Universalism is competent to
make whatever changes are necessary.
Appeal to the sense of responsibility.
We can also appeal to the conscious
ness of man. Things are not equally
right Or equally wrong. We may also
appeal to the sentiments of the heart.
Our preaching has lacked in being
passionless. We may appeal to hope.
This is the handspring of human activ-
tiles. No man can get so low but he
can come up again.
Jesus is a specimen Of our own pos
sibilities. He reads into the human life
a new meaning. Hope because God is. |
We may again appeal to fear. Our
doctrine is uncomfortable to the sinful
soul. By no means can he hope to eg-
cape the consequences of the way he
takes. The doctrine of retributiOn is
in our hands to WELD. Universalism |
lifts up out of this, an highway in
which it is pleasant for men to walk. !

We notice the poem "If Should Die

HENRY WARD BEEoHER. Mr.. BEEoHER
neither wrote poetry nor quoted it in his
sermons. A close examination of hum
dreds of his sermons fails to find a single
line of poetry quoted. One reason for
this, perhaps, was his poor verbal mem-
ory, but there is undoubtedly some other
exclamation,

1872. " And Jesus answering said
unto them, the children of this world
marry, and are given in marriage; but
they which shall be accounted worthy to
obtain that world, and the resurrection
from the dead, neither marry, nor are
given in marriage; neither can they die
any more, for they are equal unto the
angels; and are the children of God, be-
ing the children of the resurrection.
Now that the dead are raised, even
Moses showed at the bush, when he
calleth the Lord the God of Abraham,
and the God of Isaac, and the God of
Jacob. For he is not a God of the dead,
but of the living; for all live unto him."
Luke Xxx. 34-3S. See also, Mark xii.
1927.
Hence, as our Lord describes the res
direction:
l. All experience it. 1.-THE dead are
raised"
2. All are immortal. "Neither can
they die any more"
8. They are angels"
4 They are like God, "children of
God" in new and holy sense, "being
children of the resurrection. They
must, therefore, be holy and happy for
ever, being immortal, god-like angels.
That this was his meaning here, is
evident from verse 33, Matt. xiii;
And when the multitude heard this,
they were astonished at his doctrine"
What astonished them? His hearers

A Woman Scared 10 Death.

A case of literal frightening to death
occurred in the town Of Sodus, New
York State, on Monday night, and has
since been the topic of conversation in
that locality. On Sunday farm labor
er, James Van Wycklin, while lntoYi-
Gated at Sodus village, started to walk
10 his home on farm several miles dis
tant. Atabout midnight he reached the
residence of Mrs. Ellen Ketchum, which
he thought was his own. The woman
was nervous and timid, about fifty years
of age, and lived alone with her grand
son. Van Wycklin, still intoxicated,
demanded admission 10 the house, and
then began to kick upon the doors and
to smash in the windows, at the same
time calling to be let in. Mrs. Ketch-
um thought her house was attacked by
bandits, and was found by her grand
son in swoOn in the middle of her
room. When daylight appeared and
Van Wycklin had recovered from his
debauch and lett the farm, the grand
son hastened for help. The woman re-
manned unconscious for several hours
and died from the effects of the fright.
